The verdict in three sentences
In Greenwich, a tax and accounting firm website from a Fairfield County or New York agency usually costs 15 000 to 50 000+ USD in 2026, and a seasoned freelancer 4 000 to 12 000 USD, depending on scope. Kolonell's fixed tiers are 2 900, 4 900 and 8 900 USD, with native English copy, a project manager on Eastern time and delivery in 3 to 4 weeks (Premium usually 4 to 6). For a firm whose clients are fund professionals, New York commuters, family offices and business owners, what you are really buying is clarity on multi-state work and a secure document path, not agency overhead.
What do Greenwich, Stamford and New York agencies quote?
The ranges below are a 2026 ballpark from public rate cards of Connecticut and New York agencies, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co agency profiles and freelance platform rates (Upwork, Malt). They vary with page count, copy and integrations, and Greenwich, close to Manhattan pricing, sits at the top of US ranges.
| Option | 2026 ballpark | Delay | Copywriting | Support model |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Greenwich or Stamford agency | 15 000 to 50 000+ USD | 10 to 16 weeks | Often a separate line | Retainer, 100 to 200 USD per hour |
| Manhattan agency | 20 000 to 60 000+ USD | 12 to 20 weeks | Usually included at a premium | Retainer |
| Senior freelancer | 4 000 to 12 000 USD | 4 to 10 weeks | Rarely included | Ad hoc |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 900 USD | 3 to 4 weeks | Included, native English | 3 months |
| Kolonell Growth | 4 900 USD | 3 to 4 weeks | Included, native English | 3 months |
| Kolonell Premium | 8 900 USD | 4 to 6 weeks, written schedule | Included, EN/FR option | 6 months |
A 15 to 25 page firm site with services, client types and partner bios sits mid to high in local agency quotes; custom portals or integrations push it further. See all tiers on our international website offer.
What does a Greenwich accounting and tax firm site need?
| Client group | What they look for first | Page and form | Kolonell tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hedge fund and private equity professionals | Experience with complex individual returns | Individual tax page, intake form on income types | Growth |
| New York commuters | Multi-state filing between Connecticut and New York | Multi-state page, residence questions on the form | Growth |
| Family offices | Accounting, reporting and discretion | Family office services, confidentiality, portal link | Growth or Premium |
| Owner-managed businesses | Bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts | Business services, engagement request form | Growth |
| French-speaking executives and European families | Service in their language | Bilingual EN/FR pages | Premium |
| Multi-partner firm | The right partner for the right matter | Partner bios, routed enquiries | Premium |
Points that matter on every page:
- No tax advice on the site. Describe engagements, deliverables and onboarding; never quote tax figures, deadlines or promised savings.
- A secure document path. We link or embed the portal you already pay for in your practice software. A custom portal or integration is quoted on request, because scope depends on the provider.
- Professional rules. The Connecticut State Board of Accountancy and the AICPA (and the New York board if you practice there) have rules on advertising and use of the CPA title: they exist and must be checked by the firm. If an affiliate provides investment advice, financial marketing rules such as the SEC Marketing Rule apply depending on the licence, and compliance must validate the content.
- Data and accessibility. Connecticut has a consumer data privacy law (CTDPA) that applies above certain thresholds, the FTC Safeguards Rule applies to tax preparers, and WCAG 2.1 AA is the common reference given ADA litigation risk. This is not legal advice.
Kolonell writes natively in English and French; any other language is supplied by the firm or quoted separately.
How do you read three-year costs and quotes?
| Line over 3 years | Typical Greenwich agency | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Build | 20 000 to 40 000 USD | 4 900 USD |
| Copywriting | 2 000 to 6 000 USD if separate | Included |
| Support after launch | Retainer from launch | 3 months included |
| Maintenance afterwards | Retainer | Quoted |
| Domain | Check who registers it | In the firm's name |
| Access | Check the handover clause | All access handed over |
| Payment | Deposit and milestones | 50 % at kickoff, 50 % at delivery, bank transfer or Wise |
Red flags: no written page list, a domain in the agency's name, a portal priced as one line with no technical scope, accessibility absent from deliverables, and a mandatory long retainer before launch.

Kolonell builds websites that attract clients, optimized for the Sénégalese market. Free quote in 2 minutes.
Illustrative example: Catherine, managing partner of a hypothetical eight-person firm on Greenwich Avenue, receives an agency quote of 32 000 USD for the build, 4 000 USD for copy and a 250 USD monthly retainer. Three-year total: 32 000 + 4 000 + 36 x 250 = 45 000 USD.
Kolonell Growth costs 4 900 USD with copy, multi-state and family office pages, booking and 3 months of support. Assuming the same 250 USD monthly maintenance for the remaining 33 months (actual maintenance is quoted): 4 900 + 33 x 250 = 13 150 USD. The difference is 31 850 USD over three years, and the firm owns its domain and every access.
Our real US reference is TR Signing Group (trsigninggroup.com), a notary and apostille firm in New Jersey, a short drive from Greenwich: bilingual EN/FR site, quote requests with per-file verification, booking calendar, live chat and back office.
